    Vitali would have beat Wlad IMO.

    lol, you're a racist clown who does nothing but to downgrade the Klitschkos, you have no credibility

    Sanders would have trashed Pulev, Wilder, Fury or whatever hypejob you claim is gonna mop the canvas with Wladimir next

    totally.

    bigger. more versatile, more gritty, more stamina, can box or brawl, iron chin (one of the few chins that could stand up to Wlad's power), better reflexes, instincts, etc.

    a prime Vitali outclassed Wlad at everything except power and even that's not very far as Vitali still holds the 2nd highest KO% in hw history (along with the most punches thrown record)

    any version of Vitali pre-Adamek owns Wladimir

    Dry your tears little boy.

    Sanders was in horrendous shape and was never anybody to begin with.

    Accept it.

    I think Wlad Klitschko vs. Peter I is one of his most entertaining fights. Big action on both sides.

    Wlad ran and held on for his life while Peter plodded after him. It was a joke of a fight.

    Harald Lederman rightful called for Wlad to be DQ'd

    The fight in your memory is not the same as the real fight .

    Vitali - My favourite would have to be him KOing Hide. I never liked Hide, he was always a bit of a thug, would hear stories of him beating up over matched sparring partners for fun. When Vitali basically swatted him away like he was nothing it put a smile on my face.

    Wlad - I'm not really a Wlad fan but I did like his performance against Wach. Wach was massively overrated and it was good to see Wlad be so aggressive. Though with his next fight coming up I am looking forward to him KOing the loud mouth Fury, that will very likely become my favourite fight of his.

    Wlad vs Peter I, Wlad vs Mercer (I know Mercer was old but still)
    Vitali vs Lewis, Vitali vs Francesco Spinelli :smoke

    Sanders was ALWAYs in bad shape, he was a part time golfer who never had proper work ethic.

    He was still a very rare talent, a southpaw with tremendous power, laser fast hands and counterpunching ability

    Sanders would always fade and become vulnerable in the later rounds because he had no stamina due to lack of training, but in the early rounds he was beastly and dangerous for anyone. That's why he was so avoided, Lennox and Holyfield both turned him down for a reason.

    I reckon he would have Rahman'd Lennox too

    I've seen it a couple time mate. I am not saying it's a fight of the decade candidate. But compared to many of Wlad's snoozefest its very entertaining.

    Sanders in his very prime lost badly in the first round to Tubbs. Thats when Sanders was at his best in his career and at his most dangerous in a fight.

    I'm well aware of Sanders stamina issues , even when prime , thats why its a joke to give credit for beating the oldest ever Sanders who looked like he didn't even train for the fight.

    And Sanders had no 'tremendous power' . Raham was a more feared puncher than Sanders during the 90's.

    What the hell does that make Raham?

    They avoided him because he was a fringe contender at best not because they feared him. I doubt Holyfield ever thought about Sanders as a serious opponent. At the time people used to confuse Corey Sanders with Corrie Sanders because both were both unknown heavies. Prior to Wlad he never beat anyone of note to deserve a title shot. Nobody was clamouring for Sanders to get a shot at any of the champions.

    Sanders was an after thought in the division. Never ranked in anyone's top ten prior to beating Wlad. Had he beaten Rahman in 2000 maybe it would have been him instead of Rahman facing Lewis in South Africa, but he simply was never good enough.
